sinking down, down
Death is a drop into a blackness that swallows you. You feel the movement of not air but shadow across your face as you plummet, and there is no bottom. No crash.
If there is another side, you do not reach it.
It is neither the light of heaven or the fires of hell that greets you when you wake. And wake you do, to the buzz and flicker of old fluorescent lights.
You are laid out beside a full-size competitive swimming pool, half-filled with stagnant water. The doors out are blocked off by locked doors covered in caution tape. The locker rooms are long since emptied, paint peeling from the humidity. The only signs of habitation are a few pieces of scattered graffiti.
Welcome to your new home. There's no sunlight, no indication of time passing. Just you and each other and your thoughts. the stagnant water bubbles a little occasionally, but there's nothing in it.
Before long you'll realize that you no longer need to eat or drink. You might notice your hand go through something if you don't focus. You're a ghost now. What's that they say about unfinished business?

[Seeing Misty briefly look hurt does make Kana pause the urge to completely reject her. Yes, there's clearly something deeply, deeply wrong with Misty, but it doesn't seem like Misty even knows where to start fixing that.
So Kana bites back the sarcastic comment about how Misty just appointed herself her and Rinne's roommates without asking. She can't fully stop the other comment though.]
Not everyone likes me. I needed to dial back on ego-searching for a reason, you know.
And Misty... [Kana sighs. It won't do either of them any good to sugarcoat it.] I was nice to you because I was worried about you.

3/3
Misty throws her arms around, and maybe a little bit through, Kana’s shoulders.]
See! It’s like I said! Friends!

Well, yeah. Your friend was missing and you joined her club, I figured you were trying to sort through some stuff. Then when you talked about the stuff with Co--
2/2
[Oh god, Kana affirmed the friendship on accident! Why is she like this?!]
Ok, sure, sure, but let me have some space! I just got murdered!
